Monday Morning Quarterback: Bengals 30, Jaguars 20

Reaction from readers after the Jaguars' 30-20 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday:

What more can I say as a fan? We're terrible. Something has got to change and it has to change now. Listen to your fans this time Mr. Weaver. We're desperate.

Thomas, Jacksonville

I have been in Del Rio's corner from the beginning but today taking three points with 4th down inside the five says no confidence in the offense or defense. Jack must go along with his game plan, so Mr Weaver start the process and we can have hope for 2012.

Hunt, Fleming Island

Rain would have been better. Come on man! Find somebody to field a punt!

Robert, Ortega

What time are tryouts Monday?

Bruce, Ponte Vedra Beach

Well, at least the field was marked correctly this week, so you could say the Jags are improving.

Neil, Jacksonville

Hey Jack, in order to win the division you are going to need more than 1 win.

Mike, Bryceville

I don't even want to talk about it. There is a palm to my face right now.

Mark, Live Oak

Too often the Jags send fans home with just the same two exciting memories ... the fly-overs and the hang-overs. Nothing much happens on the field!

Michael, Columbus, Ohio

Perhaps they should apply for the final vacated spot in the SEC. Another pathetic and embarrassing performance.

As I was flipping through the channels on Saturday, I noticed that the Colorado School of Mines football team was playing on TV. I was just trying to figure out which ones were going to be playing for the Jaguars next year.

Jeff, Jacksonville Beach

Mr. Weaver, please do me and the people of Jacksonville a favor and send Del Rio packing. Today's game is an insult and Del Rio has the gall to say that he expects this team to win their division.

Rich, Jacksonville

Defense has improved and played well, although still allowed too many points. Offense is third-rate, however. They all look like rookies except for MJD. The Jags are difficult to watch. Sorry Jack, you have the players but they are not coached nor disciplined enough to win games.

Jim D., Jacksonville

We started like a well-tuned Aston Martin and ended like a Yugo. Where's the coaching?

Buddy, Ponte Vedra Beach

Wow, are we a joke. So glad we gave Mike Thomas an extension. Based on? We lead the league in undeserved raises and extensions. Our leadership is terrible.

Mark, Jacksonville

Mr Weaver, please step up and let Jack go now - promote an interim coach for the remainder of the season. It might rally the team but will also give you time to find a head coach who can lead. While you're at it, please find us a punter and punt returner!

Glenn, Ponte Vedra Beach

When in the world is Jack and Wayne going to get it? This team is simply the pits. I cannot believe we could not even beat the Bengals.

Kathy, Jacksonville

Can this team sink to any lower levels? I wish the players would go on strike and refuse to play for this lousy head coach and his equally terrible offensive coordinator. How come Cecil Shorts and Matt Turk get to keep their jobs after so much ineptitude? ... I held my nose as I left the stadium, wishing I never had to go back there again until Del Rio is gone.

Nicole, Orange Park

We all hope for a win every Sunday but if this type of downward trending execution continues then maybe that will help to put the nail in the coffin of the existing HC/OC and anyone else that deserves to go so we can really rebuild next year. TU, not all Jags fans live in FL, it's okay to print some out-of-town comments once in a while.

Izzy, Tega Cay, SC

A deplorable team! It is top-to-bottom a joke. Conservative play-calling with minimal leads, lack of execution at all key points of the game. Can't stand it anymore! Good luck Wayne.

Scott, Jacksonville

Where is Waldo? I mean the Jags' offensive line? There is no determination in those men. I have often wondered what Del Rio meant by them not doing the little things. How about the big things like playing your block and making a play.

Mary, Middleberg

If Matt Turk is still on the team by the close of business Monday, then Wayne Weaver should make sure that Jack Del Rio isn't.

Matthew, Jacksonville

Same old Jags. They can't wait to get ahead so they can sit on the lead.

Aulton, Jacksonville

Promising QB, promising defense, promising offensive line, but we will never win with this current coaching staff. PROMISE!

Tyler, Jacksonville

What's the ugliest four letter word in Jax? TURK!

Travis, Gainesville

The game was decided by three things: poor play-calling/execution on two possesions at the two, pathetic punt-returning from Cecil Shorts, and the worst punting I have ever seen by an NFL punter. The most blame can be laid on Turk's middle-school shoulder pads.

Robert, Jacksonville

They need to give their money back to Mr. Weaver. Too bad they don't have "pay for performance" like teachers.

S.W., St. Johns

Jags fans, it could be worse. You could be a Dolphins fan, 0-4 and going nowhere.

Mindy, St. Louis

I'm sure Jack Del Rio is a nice guy, but he's not a good coach. I just hope he is not upside down on his mortgage.

Judy, Orange Park
